Nestled amongst olive groves on the beautiful hillsides that overlook the Florentine basin, Fiesole is a perfect countryside retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city, a mere 5 miles away. Fiesole was once a Roman city (Faesulae) with a forum, temples, theatre, baths. The well-preserved theatre, which is still used, has a capacity of about 3000 people. With the ancient remains, the beautiful duomo of San Romolo, the fascinating collections of the Museo Faesulanum and the 15th century church of San Domenico means there is plenty to see. Fiesole however is more about relaxing amongst the stunning Florentine hills.
